Evan--There were a number of books in the 1950s by industry consultants which were required reading by those of us designing systems to use computers. Dick Canning was one of the authors, but there were a few others. Are they of any interest? They influenced our applications work at GE Louisville and GE Poughkeepsie. And Herb Grosch was quite prolific during that period.
